Life is an open book for Áine

BROADCASTER and journalist, Áine Lawlor, has been at the heart of Irish current affairs since 1994, but her story made headlines in 2011, when she took a break from presenting Morning Ireland for ‘medical reasons’.

Lawlor had cancer and her battle received much publicity. However, having restored her good health, she is back on our TV screens, and will be at the Ennis Book Club Festival, which takes place from Mar 1 to 3.

“I am an avid reader and there are always piles of books by my bedside, and too many books on my shelves,” she says.
